ALBERT SIBOLE, OF MIDDLEWAY, WEST VIRGINIA.

JARDINIRE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,17 5, dated August9, 1904.

Application led April 5, 1904. Serial No. 201,688. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT SIBOLE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Middle- V flower-pot and drip vessel therein, as will be`hereinafter described, the novel features being pointed out in theclaims.

Figure l represents a perspective view of a jardinire embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section thereof. Fig. 3represents a vertical section of a portion at a right angle to Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the body of the jardinire, thesame consisting of a block of wood having a vertical bore therethrough,forming the chamber B for the reception of the flower-pot C and the cupor pan D, the latter being below said iower-pot and serving to receivethe water or moisture, mud, Sac., dropping from said flower-pot.

On the wall of the chamber B, below the top thereof, is the horizontalshoulder E, on which is rested the shoulder of the upper rim of theflower-pot, thus removably supporting the latter within said chamber.

In order to prevent dropping of the cup D or other disengagementthereof' from the chamber B, said cup is interloclred with the wall ofsaid chamber. For this purpose in the present case I provide pins orstuds F, which project horizontally into the chamber B and form L-shapedslots G in the cup D,

which are adapted to receive said pins and have the latter engagetherewith after the manner of bayonet-joints, it being evident that whenthe cup is introduced into the chamber from below the vertical limbs ofthe slots receive said pins. Then when the cup is rotated said pinsenter the horizontal limbs of said slots, thus sustaining the cup withinsaid chamber and interlocking it therewith, so that accidentaldisplacement of the cup and the loss of water, dirt, &c., therefrom areprevented. When, however, the c up is rotated in the reverse direction,the members of the bayonet-joints become disconnected, whereby the cupmay be readily removed to have its contents discharged and to cleanseand repair the cup `when so required, said pan being accessible at theopen bottom of the bore, so as to be capable of removal and restoredwithoutdisturbing the flower-pot.

It Will also be seen that the block of wood comprising the body A hasthe bark remainwater can drop to rot the same, the Water from theiiower-pot collecting von the pan D, from whence it may be readilyremoved.

Various changes may be made in the details of construction shown withoutdeparting from the general spirit of my invention, and I do not,therefore, desire to be limited in each case to the same.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a jardinire, a block of Wood having a bore therein, a pinprojecting into the said bore from the wall thereof, and a pan having aslot to receive said pin for removably suspending said pan from thelatter in said bore.

2. In a jardinire, a block of wood having a bore therein, a shoulder onthe inner Wall of said bore, a pin projecting into said. bore from saidwall below said shoulder, a flowerpot suspended from said shoulder, anda pan having a slot to receive said pin for remov- 'ably suspending saidpan from the latter in said bore. j 3. In a jardinire, a block of woodhaving a pot-receiving bore therein, the same being open from end to endin vertical direction, a pin projecting into said bore from the wallthereof, and a pan within said bore at the lower portion thereof adaptedto engage with said pin for removably Supporting' said pan on said wall,said pan being accessible from below through the open bottom of saidbore.

4. In a jardinire, a body having a bore therein, the same being openfrom end to end in Vertical direction, a flower-pot suspended withinsaid bore, a pin projecting'into said bore from said wall, and aremovable pan below said flower-pot adapted to be interlocked by saidpin with said wall, said pan being accessible from below through theopen bottom or' said bore.

5. A jardinire consisting of a body having a bore therein, the samebeing open from end to end in vertical direction, a shoulder on the wallof said bore, a iiower-pot suspended from Said shoulder, a pinprojecting into said bore from said wall, and a pan below said flowerpotadapted to be interloclied with said pin, said pan having a slot adaptedto receive said pin and removably connect said. pan with said body andbeing accessible from below through the open bottom of said bore.

6. A jardinire having a body composed of a block of Wood provided with aVertical bore therein in the direction of the grain thereof, said borebeing adapted to receive and sustain therein a flower-pot, and adrip-pan independent of said pot, said bore being open throughout invertical direction and said pan being below said pot and beingaccessible at the open bottom of said bore without disturbing said pot.

7 A jardinire consisting of a body having a bore adapted to sustain aflower-pot therein, said body being formed of a block of wood in naturalcondition and said bore extending in the direction of the grain of theWood and being open throughout from top to bottom and a pin projectingfrom said body into said bore and a pan removably suspended from saidpin in said bore below the flower-pot.
